[ Upstream commitc373f7f98e] Patch series "mm: Fix vmemmap optimization accounting and initialization", v8. The series fixes several bugs in vmemmap optimization, mainly around incorrect page accounting and memmap initialization in DAX and memory hotplug paths. It also fixes pageblock migratetype initialization and struct page initialization for ZONE_DEVICE compound pages. Patches 1-4 fix vmemmap accounting issues. Patch 1 fixes an accounting underflow in the section activation failure path by moving vmemmap page accounting into the lower-level allocation and freeing helpers. Patch 2 fixes incorrect altmap passing in the memory hotplug error path. Patch 3 passes pgmap through memory deactivation paths so the teardown side can determine whether vmemmap optimization was in effect. Patch 4 uses that information to account the optimized DAX vmemmap size correctly. Patches 5-6 fix initialization issues in mm/mm_init. One makes sure all pageblocks in ZONE_DEVICE compound pages get their migratetype initialized. The other fixes a case where DAX memory hotplug reuses an unoptimized early-section memmap while compound_nr_pages() still assumes vmemmap optimization, leaving tail struct pages uninitialized. This patch (of 6): In section_activate(), if populate_section_memmap() fails, the error handling path calls section_deactivate() to roll back the state. This causes a vmemmap accounting imbalance. Since commitc3576889d8("mm: fix accounting of memmap pages"), memmap pages are accounted for only after populate_section_memmap() succeeds. However, the failure path unconditionally calls section_deactivate(), which decreases the vmemmap count. Consequently, a failure in populate_section_memmap() leads to an accounting underflow, incorrectly reducing the system's tracked vmemmap usage. Fix this more thoroughly by moving all accounting calls into the lower level functions that actually perform the vmemmap allocation and freeing: - populate_section_memmap() accounts for newly allocated vmemmap pages - depopulate_section_memmap() unaccounts when vmemmap is freed This ensures proper accounting in all code paths, including error handling and early section cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
